Hi Guys and Girls
I am looking to add a registry key for all my users. There is a known issue with one of the apps we use and it requires a registry key to be in the users hive.
The key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet\Settings\ProxyHttp1.1
Now I have a check for key syntax already for another issue I had which is
RUN "E:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE /importprf E:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\custom11.prf"
EndIF
If $ReturnCode = 1 EXIT
But I now need to adapt this to say if the key exists then exit which I assume is the last IF statement but if it doesn't I need it to add it - thats the bit I don't know
Any help would be most appreciated and the response I got from my last post was just superb so I am expecting great things

Hi Glen
Thanks for the response - sorry I didn't make myself clear and is my fault. That Outlook key I have working already and was using it as an example to what I want. What I need is something that says
If KeyExist("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet\Settings\ProxyHttp1.1") ; exists - just exit Exit 0 Else
*INSERT THIS KEY WITH VALUE OF 1* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet\Settings\ProxyHttp1.1
EndIf
Is that bit I don't know - how to add that key in via the script if its missing with the value of 1 to be enabled.

That is quite easy.
Code:
If Not KeyExist("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet\Settings\ProxyHttp1.1")
$rc = WriteValue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet\Settings\ProxyHttp1.1", "1", "Data Type")
EndIf
All you need to do is change "Data type" to the data type you need.

Just tried your script but unfortunately it didn't work. I substituted HKCU for HKEY_CURRENT_USER just in case my version of KIX didn't like it but it made no odds. I am getting this error when it tries to write the $rc line

This is how I have it at the moment - is that right ? - just so you know there is nothing else in this script file apart from what is written above

I think you are missing something. Have a look at the explanation below.
A cleaner version for your script would be like this:
Code:
If Not KeyExist("Registry key to check goes here")
$rc = WriteValue("Registry key", "Registry value", "Data", "Data Type")
Else
Exit 0
EndIf
What Writevalue wants: - Registry key: The "folders" in the left pane of regedit. - Registry value: The entries in the right pane of regedit. - Data: What should the registry value hold? - Data type: Type of the registry value.
